Although that would suit the OP as his car has the JDM/US type indicators. Which look far better than the nasty little U.K./Euro ones anyway! ;P

Subjective and a little negative towards OEM UK cars....

I never realised the UK cars has the indicators there!
Just googled it and found an Aussie thread where @Albrecht pops up

Never claimed it wasn't subjective! Definitely an "IMO", personal taste post. Although, I don't think it's controversial to note that the wraparound lights look like a deliberate, integral part of the design, while the UK/Euro units are an obvious compromise for local regulation at the time.Subjective and a little negative towards OEM UK cars....

I believe Robotsan and Minksport have already demonstrated. If there was 'an error', it was a misintepretation at the bginning of this thread what the poster wanted.
I'm well aware of the parts DSComposites has since it was I who DONATED them to Craig before he passed it all over to Dylan. The gold 280Z is my wifes', my 240Z here in photos.
I'll be topping up his range of rear spoilers including those for S130s towards the end of this month.

Whilst your 'at it', delete those ridiculous (IMO....
) front wing repeaters which aren't needed anyway with the under-bumper wrap-around indicators.They weren't on the first prototypes and not on Aussie/NZ commercialised models.

Ok, so I think I've got it.
Dylan does have a 1 piece grp valance with integral oem size spoiler (which @bobzilla is buying) But if you want to use an oem 3 piece valance, Dylan only the larger spoiler to bolt to it.
Yes? Better than faecebook now?

I find your descriptions might be confusing for the rookies :
OEM look that replicates the front centre valence and both corners (3x pcs) - shown on my wifes' gold 280Z with black paint along the bottom (and anthraciteon my white 240Z) to imply the presence of the OEM rubber 'lip'
The 'larger' spoiler to which you refer is a BRE (Brock Racing Entrprises) replica and available with or without air-ducts. This fits onto a front (3x pc) valence....and is in fact therefore smaller than the replica (3pc) valence.
If one wants new corner and centre valence panels, don't pay silly Ebay and/or retailers' prices but go to the closest source to the Taiwanese manufacturer :
High Quality Front Valance Stainless Steel Interior Automotive Parts - Buy Automotive Parts,Interior Automotive Parts,Stainless Steel Automotive Parts Product on Alibaba.com
High Quality Front Valance Stainless Steel Interior Automotive Parts - Buy Automotive Parts,Interior Automotive Parts,Stainless Steel Automotive Parts Product on Alibaba.com

If one doesn't want lower-indicator cut-outs as per OEM European Zs, one'll have to fill in the cut-outs or buy secondhard.
Better than anywhere now ?
